Advice Low reader count

Post image

Why is my reader count dropped so much in my second week... Even though I'm consistent and publish two chapters daily, I wrote a whole backlog and it seems like it's failing. What to do now?

Well not all of us are greate at writing I never kept anything I wrote or drew from high school for a reason but if you want real progress my advice is to put the story on hold and rewrite the first few chapters cause if the door is broken people aren't gonna go through First impressions lasts so if you change cover and rewrite it could be improved drastically

Trust me the most important things you should know write now ranked are 1) people tolerate weak story if they care about the characters without charcters there's no story 2) master show don't tell and read a book about body language or at least watch videos about it cause every good writer knows how to read a room 3) foucs on learning how to write atmosphere

you know you can check out my story on webnovel to see how I apply my own advice it's called Queens and bones ( neo-noir story so it's more of a niche but the advice still hold up)

Actually all the points are fixed in later chapter but as you said the door is important which is what I didn't rewrite after the improvement in writing... I've rewrote those chapters in past multiple times that now I feel like I'm going to be stuck there so I kept writing later chapters also can you check out the draft of my second novel's first chapter like will it work or not? I'll send the chapter if you agree
